If you ask me, having lived in both Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee, and about 15 other stats
Tennessee has about the worst accent. I didn't know how bad it was until I lived out of the state for a few years. I called a couple of my old friends and I was like OMG, I used to talk like that.
Of course now people from places I used to live say I talk jumbled like every other person from the north.
It doesn't matter where you go there is always someone going to say you talk, act, look, whatever different. When I moved to Conneticut they asked me what I ate in the south because I was tall and most everyone I know is shorter than me
